@nixCraft I don't use Mastodon. But for Misskey I use the web interface both on desktop and on mobile.
@nixCraft what about genuine desktop apps like Whalebird or Tuba?
@nixCraft I don't understand how this will work. I use it as a Web app on the computer and a mobile app from the mobile :P
@nixCraft 🐧 I don't (: But I usually interact with federated ActivityPub posts on my Hubzilla via Web
@nixCraft Rn only phone because I’m away from my pc
@nixCraft I don't have a smartphone, so web browser it is. 😄
@nixCraft I would probably use both; however, I have been avoiding using a PC for about three months to avoid distractions/losing countless hours to computer games.

@nixCraft

use both, accidentally checked Mobile and can’t change.

@nixCraft I'm using Moshidon / toot on my Smartphone as an app, and Elk with my Browser.
@nixCraft
I prefer using the web version, by comparison, it's boring on the phone app
@nixCraft tusky on my phone as the predominant way to use it
@nixCraft Both--desktop, phone, browser, app for notifications...
@nixCraft Hmmm... I use both, @megalodon mobile and the Web interface on the desktop.
@nixCraft Um, web app made mobile app. I guess that qualifies as browser.
@nixCraft
I mostly use a mobile app, but when on pc i use the browser
@nixCraft you forgot about desktop os native app. or all three.
@nixCraft You are only asking people on Mastodon, not the rest of the Fediverse, right?
@gianf The rest of us on non-New Twitter ™️ don't exist. 🤷‍♀️ Can't wait until Mastodon joins the Fediverse, and maybe even gets 10 options for a poll like Calckey has? /s @nixCraft
@nixCraft web version on Android feels much smoother to use than the app, for me.
@nixCraft I don't use #Mastodon, but another #microblogging service based on the #ActivityPub protocol. Its name? #Calckey. Please, remember that the #Fediverse is far larger than Masto, even when only counting microblogging.

As for what I use to access Calckey, it's the
#webapp, but only because both #Android and #Linux lack decent #native_client_for_Calckey.
Script that listens to the streaming api for certain hashtags and then announces the corresponding activities.
@nixCraft Mostly web app, sometimes Emacs (mastodon.el) …
@nixCraft @mstankiewicz Sadly, web app. Because @ellieapp don't work for me and all the Mastodon app boom happened on fucking iOS. Moshidon and @megalodon are just forks of the official app with no new 3rd party apps. Windows is in the black hole, I'm mad AF.
@nixCraft I'm not on Mastodon, either. There are alternative ActivityPub implementations.
@nixCraft Both. I use @elk so a PWA. I guess that's a mix of the two 🙂
@nixCraft Elk.zone + Ice Cubes, I love the diversity of choices of accesing Mastodon.
@nixCraft How do you access the rest of the fediverse...? 😁 (posting from Friendica...)
@nixCraft I am accessing the #Fediverse by my #Pleroma instance with the browser or Fedilab.

@nixCraft

Console client toot and web interface.

@nixCraft I use @ivory, it’s the best Mastodon client I’ve seen!
@nixCraft
Both: PC via web and mobile via @apps  
@nixCraft The number of mobile users is surprising, assuming the poll is an accurate reading of sentiment. Meaning the mobile app has some kind of advantage over the browser app (of course, I rarely use my phone to surf...)
@nixCraft Tusky App on Android
@nixCraft

To be honest, I do not access mastodon because it is not possible from my point of view. Mastodon is for me only one of many windows into the
#FediVerse.

I am personally using different services like
#mastodon, #pleroma and #CalcKey to access the whole, colorful and inspiring #Fediverse.

Maybe it would be an great idea to reformulate your question to get more meaningful results.


But now to your question and how I understood it.

I am using, for any of the named platforms, both possibilities. It depends mostly on the available device and my feelings.

PSA: It's not "Calkey" or "CalcKey" -- it's ***Calckey!***

@kainoa @nixCraft thank you very much for giving me that insight even if it does not support the original theme at all. I will do my very best to follow your advice in the future.
@nixCraft Both. Desktop when I'm out, mobile when I'm home. Or was it the other way around?

@nixCraft

Argh, sorry, I didn't realise you were doing a similar poll! :/

#Awkward

@nixCraft
Technically both, but 95% on browser.
@nixCraft mobile app. Specifically TwitPane+. The creator changed it from a Twitter client into a Mastodon client when Twitter blocked the API.
@nixCraft Both. The Elk web app, and Twidere on mobile
